Aggtelek Caves

Aggtelek Caves

The most explored cave system in Europe, the Aggtelek Caves in northeast Hungary reach up into Slovakia through the karst foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. Excavations in the caves show that humans have used this system as shelter for over 7,000 years. Today a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Aggtelek cave system is the biggest in Hungary, and the largest – and arguably most beautiful – stalactite cave system in Europe. The array of red and black stalactite dripstones and stalagmite pyramids in their galleries and enormous chambers is incredible.

Traveler Reviews

“We don’t know where to start – a perfect itinerary which satisfied all of our needs, excellent accommodations superbly located, flawless execution of all aspects including visas, vouchers, theatre tickets, etc., and last but certainly not least, truly outstanding and professional guides and drivers. We only wish that MIR provided tours everywhere, in which case we would never use another tour company again. MIR Office in Seattle was outstanding. We have already told several friends about MIR and how wonderful they are! You all put together a trip for us that was perfect for our budget, time frame and interests. Russia is a fabulous destination – wonderful history, magnificent sites. We can’t say enough about MIR and Russia.”- The Repkos - Princeton, NJ
